Chapter 1241 Golden Cage (74)

The guards guarding outside the palace all knelt down when they saw the visitor, "I have met the emperor."

Wen Renyu walked in, and the door behind him was closed.

Shangguan Wanqing, who was wearing plain clothes, turned around and looked at him steadily.

She completely lacked the majestic demeanor she had when she was a queen, her body was thin and her breath was slumped.

"I've met the emperor."

Wenren's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, and he said in a calm tone, "I wonder what the Queen Mother wants to see me for?"

Shangguan Wanqing smiled sadly, "I wonder if the emperor can let Yu'er go for once?"

Wenren said with his hands tied, "Killing the king, rebelling, any of these crimes are enough to make him die a thousand times or ten thousand times."

His expression was indifferent, and his eyes did not waver at all.

Shangguan Yuan's lips moved slightly, "I beg you, my mother-in-law."

"Mother?" Wen Renzhen smiled, "I can't afford it."

"Your Majesty." Shangguan Wan knelt down lightly, "Yu'er is your brother, can't you just be accommodating?"

"Where did my brother come from in this harem?" Wen Renyu lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a mocking arc on his lips, "Is the Queen Mother a little forgetful?"

Shangguan Yuanqing's body froze, and she raised her face in disbelief, "You..."

Wen Renzhen leaned over to look at her and said softly, "I'm afraid the Queen Mother only has eyes for Wen Renyu's child, even if the blood on him is not yours."

Shangguan Wanqing was shocked, her eyes widened, and she stepped back as if she saw a monster.

Wen Renyan looked at her expressionlessly, "But I still want to thank you."

He said softly, "Let me have no blood relationship with the late Emperor."

Shangguan Yuanqing trembled all over, raised her eyes and stared at him, "How did you know?" She seemed to have thought of something, her eyelashes trembled, and her face turned ashen.

Wenren stopped looking at her and turned around to leave. A low voice came, "The Queen Mother mourned the late emperor and became a nun. She stayed in the Xiangyin Palace and chanted sutras every day."

The moment the palace door was slammed shut, tears kept falling from the corners of Shangguan Yuanqing's eyes and she couldn't make a sound.

She recalled that year when she mistakenly mistook the drunken General Murong for the late emperor and stayed with him all night. Later, when she became pregnant, she was terrified all day long, and even wanted to abort the child, but the emperor was delighted with the arrival of the child. She had selfish motives and kept the child.

As her belly grew bigger day by day, Shangguan Wanqing smiled happily with the emperor during the day, but felt uneasy and anxious at night.

Later, I accidentally learned that in the harem, by coincidence, the child in the belly of Concubine Li and a palace maid who was unexpectedly named a talented person was not much different from hers.

Shangguan Yuanqing had a slight change of mind. Originally, she had set her sights on Concubine Li, but it would be difficult and dangerous to do so. She had no choice but to change the target.

Unexpectedly, due to the right time and place, not only was the palace maid not favored, but she was also born a few days earlier, around the same time as her.

Shangguan Yuanqing asked people to exchange the children, bury the truth, and even create a false time difference.

She originally thought that no one would ever know about this matter, but now that the bloodied dissection was revealed, she was extremely embarrassed and at the same time thought of Wen Renzhen's cold eyes, she thought blankly.

Did I really do something wrong?

...

Shen Mubai slept soundly. When he turned over and noticed a hot body unexpectedly appeared next to him, he was startled.

The man hugged her waist and pressed close to her. His deep voice was a little hoarse than usual, "Luo'er."
